Revamped dresses are sometimes
trimmed now with dark ribbons hori-
zontally, style favorable to slim wom-
en-, but Tot to short or fat ones.
Galatea dresses of stripped or blue and
white twilled cotton are in favor. they
are made up with skirt waists and
sashes of a solid color, and the skirt has
very long drapery showing its selvage,
or else bordered with velvet ribbons
A new trimming is made of SIX or
seven rows of extremely narrow ribbon
called baby ribbon held together by
links of gilt thread and edged with
loops of this feather-edged ribbon,
which is only fourth of an inch wide.
This is especially effective when of
white and gold-the ribbons of white
satin and the links of gilt thread. The
most brilliant as well as the most deli
cate sha es of color are worn this sea-
son, but now as ever. it is all matter
of taste or choice, and mere vividnesS
or simple neutrality is not sufficient

the manner in which one tint IS to be

on A new cut is followed in number
of the French bodies. which consists in
omitting the usual darts on the front.
This manner of cutting tie corsage is
successful only in the use of certain
elastic fabrics, being especially advan-
tageous in making up stripes and
checks, which often prove such failures
at the seams, even when subject to the
most careful manipulation. The under
arm sleeves are set slightly forward
and somewhat bias, aud the edges of
the fronts are curved in and out to fit
the figure. This style of corSage is not
at all becoming to forms overstOut, but
it is highly advantageous to slender
women, as it imparts u certain round
ness to the form which the usual dart
bones destroy. The corset bodice is a
boon to stout figures, as it gives addi-
tional length to the waist, produces q
slender effect by its many seams, and is
lined on ca one of them, even 10 the
double silk seams in the back. This
bodceis cut extremely high under the
arms, and in some cases measures but
four inches on the shou der seam.

The hustle begins to disappear.
Where the back draperies are generally
distended, as in th case of the seated
girl of the second picture, the new aim
is to suggest lightncsS rather than
solidity, That is to say, the material
of the tournurc is kept out by an isolated
wire, and not by an inner structure.
The effect is pleasanter, because the
outer fabri, seems to be extended itself,
and to cover deformity. The alge-
braic sort of jacket worn by the other
girl is an autumn fashion that will,
likely, get into popular vogue.

tired of humanity which aroused no graf

tation to see that hog demolished. He
was on the track awaiting his doom
and extra speed was drawn from fat pine
hurled into the furnace with malice

seeing his danger, started at gallop

How Todd Won

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June 27.-The Inter
Ocean this morning says it is rare in
deed, that after some important stake
has been won that the owners are ell
satisfied that their entry was beaten by a
better colt, and the American DERBY won
by G. IL. Todd Saturday is no exception
to the general rule. In the hotel ccrri-
doris yesterday but little else was to be
heard save excuses for the defeat of
animals, and that it is safe to assume
that there are but few animals in the race
that could not have won if the race was
to be run over again to-day, that is, if
the owners sre 10 be believed. These
owners may each and every one of them
be right, but the fact remains that the
race when reviewed calmly and coolly
from q turftsman's standpoint is one
of the best that was ever run
in America. None of the others engaged
in here ever equaled the performance in
an actual race, whatever they may have
done in private trial and the public
forum is the only guide by which the
merits of race horse can be guaged.
The news asserts that Todds trainer
Cooper knowing people most effectually

O'Clock is late enough for every one to

bring the colt and nave MIN worked; he
always seemed to 60 very fast for half

WatChmsn on the grounds saw lantern
swung at the half mile pole and
minute later a horse at full racing
speed gallop around the club house

cult of the track and then disappeared.
